microBIOMETER® Reader vs SREE

microBIOMETER® is a low cost, 20-minute on-site soil test for microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial ratio that allows you to quickly determine the health of your soil using smartphone technology. Frequent retesting will provide you with the data necessary to identify if your soil management practices are working. Quickly assess how amendments impact soil microbial biomass, ensuring your management practices are effective. Monitor changes in soil biology, increase carbon storage, and support sustainable
farming practices. View, edit, and export data to Excel using our Cloud Portal. Create custom projects with our Project Management feature and share soil test results with team members.

Currently, community-scale sustainability and resilience monitoring, evaluation, and planning are restrained and hampered due to a lack of effective measurement of indicators from the grassroots level, dissemination of information among the multiple stakeholders, and dynamic data analytics to derive the spatio-temporal dynamic variability for selected parameters or scenarios. This requires models for deriving dynamic decisions that can translate to policy recommendations, and future estimation or prediction to plan new interventions to cope with dynamic changes in the ecosystem. To address the challenge for effective community resilience assessment, we have proposed a technology-based crowd-sourced platform, capable of carrying assessments through a bottom-up approach and bringing multiple stakeholders on a common knowledge acquisition level to make informed community decisions, which can solve community-level sustainability and resilience assessment challenges. The SREE crowd-sourced platform was built to derive geo-enabled varying sustainability and resilience indices for various themes such as Agriculture, Skills & livelihood, Education, Health, and Water, at the household level, community level, district, state, and national level ensuring inclusivity amongst all stakeholders
